No sound with Asus M2V motherboard

• No sound on Asus Xonar DS (card high school) after waking from sleep/hibernate. Restarting doesn't help not.

  Hello.

  First timer on the forums of Microsoft here. I am running Windows 64-bit Preview version (test the waters a bit before buying an upgrade) - and I currently have a problem with my sound card, Asus Xonar DS which is not channeled sound to, apparently, or is blocked by something, after that the computer woke up from his sleep for the first time. For the record, I have Xonar DS version of the driver installed (Windows 8) and it worked perfectly to 192 000 Hz. Default 44100 worked well, too. First map of sound, integrated into the motherboard, works very well and is channeled according to that sound. That is, there is a very good reason, I opt for the Xonar DS - sound quality - and for this reason I am not using Windows 8, if the problem persists.

  Has anyone had a similar problem with Windows 8? Previous versions of Windows? Any ideas what could help? Thank you.

  This can be marked as resolved, at least for me. Seems that the version of Windows 8 of the pilot comes * with * install custom that were not present in my Windows 7 - software the DS Xonar Audio Center. 'Analog Out' is the section that needs attention - just try it and the switching noise is expected to return after a try or two.

  Sleep should not be affected, but at least I am happy that a solution must be found not far away.

• External Usb Audio Card Popping and cracking sound with Satellite L500

  Greetings,

  My name is Boyan and I am from Bulgaria, and a year ago, I bought a laptop satellite l500 series (I can't tell which is exactly the model at the moment because my computer is not currently with me and my user manual, the only thing that is said is that it is for L505/L500/L500D / L505D.) But from memory I think it was the Satellite L500D-ST5506 which is currently not at my dispossal, because I gave him for repairs for the same problem that I say down below)

  The problem with my laptop, is that when I plug in a Usb Audio card in my laptop I have a crackling sound during live sound is played hollow map external speakers/headphones. I tried several sound cards and speakers/headpohnes which work perfectly well with other computers, including laptops, but the problem continues even when I use an external sound card to connect to the laptop not appearing in my laptop speakers/headphones.

  The problem is important only when the signal passes through an external audio card and it is very disruptive since I use my laptop to create music and I bought a sound card expenssive and speakers that can not be used with the laptop. I tried 3 types of sound cards:

  M-Audio Fast Track Pro

  BEHRINGER uca 222

  and a simple 3d audio usb audio card external and the problem persists.

  At first, I thought that the problem is software and I should install the new drivers, windows 7 automatically recognizes and installs the drivers for the devices and I have its in (but with the cracks and educated) so I tried using the official drivers sold for me with the sound cards, but without success: the problem was still there. I tried to find the new drivers of the sound cards on long official distributors and I downloaded it but the problem was still there. Then I tried to delete all the audio drivers on my computer and just use the external sound card for sound but this eighter helps force. I updated my drivers for my sound card build - in as well but again - no luck.

  After substantial thing frist I did when (2 weeks after I bought the laptop) was to contact the store where I bought my audio card and they said that the problem may be so eighter latency or high voltage of the laptop they advised me to try to reduce the latency of the parameters or to try and see if the problem persists if only my laptop running on battery power. I tried two things, and they did not help. Audio cards worked without problems on all the other computers I tried them but me. So they told me that the problem could not be audio cards.

  What I then was that I gave my laptop for the Distributor official of toshiba in my country so that they can solve my problem. What they told me, is that a problem with the version of windows which was preinstalled on my laptop and it was not compitable with the sound cards (which was bizzar survey because I tried them on the same windows and they worked, only on other computers). So I'm back from my laptop and passed under my Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit operating system to Windows 7 Ultimate edition 64-bit and Windows 7 32-bit Ultimate edition on all versions, that's the problem: whenever I activate a low of passes of audio signal and Audio Usb card he heard cracks and educated. I even tried isntalling Windows XP, but the laptop want spesific SATA drivers for the Windows XP installation which although I found - they helped me install XP and I didn't go the BIOS of the computer to try to put a new and so on, because I'm not sure about that and I could lose my warranty so I said in the official repair shop for Toshiba in my city to put XP on my computer to solve the problem but they can't because they are not liscened to work with software that isn't a recipt for its purchase (which I did not because I bought my windows xp a long time ago and I lost the recipt)

  I gave her to get it repaired for the second time by telling them that the change of my operating system has not solved my problem and what they were doing was they changed the motherboard on my computer, indicating that the build in the device realtek audio on my computer is good enough to support a card usb audio or it may be broken and they change the whole motherboard because the generation of card is stuck, so they did it, but my problem has not been resolved. They told me that although I use and map external audio usb signal always going trough my only internal and I have to disable so I tried to disable this trough Control Panel, but this does not solve the problem and I don't have a BIOS option to disable my sound card build-in. Another thing I thought that maybe the problem is that two audio cards do not work on the same bitrate and Hertz so I put both cards to 16 bit 48000 Hz DVD quality (also tried the other options on the 3 cards that I have) but it's the same thing.

  They told me that it's just my luck and the construction of the sound card does not support this external sound cards and I would had been more careful when they choose to my laptop first.

  I couldn't accept this awnser for several reasons:

  (1) this sound card works on a lower version of windows and are supported by many older models of Realtek and a lot of old computers (one of them bought 2000! and my laptop is of 2010!)

  (2) the guys who were the apperantley of fixing problem don't go so deeply into my problem because they didn't know that in fact the problem was that only they knew that there is a problem with the audio card and the computer interact with them, they knew not that it cracks during the direct play the external audio card.

  (3) I can't accept the fact that Toshiba is manufacturing of models with maps audio chipset that cannot support a simple external Usb Audio card. It is totally unacceptable to me, and I sincerely hope that this is not the case!

  (4) they have tried my audiocards on another laptop of the same series, claiming that they have not at their dispossal at the moment so I'll go tomorrow at a local store and try the sound cards by myself on the same computer in the store.

  What I have now, it was that I gave my laptop for repair requesting a statement of the problem in wrtting with details of the problem so I can go to court or ask for a new laptop, but I'll be charged with little money because according to them there is no problem in the laptop and the problem is that my external sound cards are not compitable with the build in house chipset sound card. If I give my laptop for repair, and there is no hardware problem, I'll have to pay the money. I will do this, but I'm now crazy, because that does not solve my problem and I am wasting time and money.

  What I ask here is, if you can not help me solve my problem and advice me what to do to fix it, please give me the details of the chipset built in Driver sound card on my motherboard, so I can check if it is compitable with my external sound cards and contact the dealers of the sound card to ask them their opinion. Or if you can tell me what it is compitable with and what not, that would be great. Personally, I think this laptop should have no problem at all with a simple external usb running sound card, but I ask you, if you know something more about it.

  If a problem with the build in chipset then Toshiba is manufacturing (or at least sell) audiocards which are not in a normal standart but unfortunately I can not do nothing except complain to Toshiba and never treat whith such productgs more. Otherwise, if this is not true, then my laptop has a problem that is different and I have to go to court with the mans for mounting repair is not my laptop or do not give a new one when I guarantee will not fault of Toshiba and it will be in a way solve my problem.

  I hope that you understand how important it is for me and I hope I have fix the problem as soon as possible.

  P.S

  I want to say that I am familiar with grammar mistakes, that I did in the text below, and I would ask your excuses that I'm not a native speaker of English.

  Hi, I would just say that I had a similar failure although I wouldn't be surprised if she causing of yours, but you never have knowledge, my fault was the lid of my laptop [9 months], it contains the mic and when the lid has been in a certain angle cracks could be heard worse when I got my external sound card all the time it happened, luck, PS, it's a defective membrane [lid to the body] easily missed by engineer because he was the same angle you English is very good

• BSOD when trying to install Win7 64 bit with the new motherboard

  Hi all

  I have the following BSOD problem:
  I installed a new motherboard in my system (a MSI P43 C51). Before that, I got a Gigabyte G41MT-S2P. The rest of the configuration is: Q9650, Thermaltake truespirit 90 cooler, 2 x 4 GB DDR3 1333, GTX 470, 750W PSU, case name, SATA HDD 500 GB, Windows 7 64 bit.

  Well, the problem started when I tried to boot into windows with the new motherboard: I got BSOD 1 second after windows starts loading. I thought... new motherboard, install new windows, so I tried to install windows 7 64 bit DVD and USB stick, I get the STOP: 0x0000000A error during installation. I changed the HARD drive, thinking that it could be a bad sector problem, but no, the other hard drive behaved exactly the same thing. I got BSOD at 40% extraction, extraction of 90% and for the moment "Complete the installation..." ». I also tried to install with the stick of memory only one, spent between ports, everything. The material I have works, as I played on my PC every day in the last month and received no. BSOD, also had a small overclock the CPU and the GPU (100 MHz on the processor, that the old motherboard supported more than 343 fsb and about 100 MHz on the GPU). It was stable, no errors, no nothing.

  My thoughts are only, after asking some knowledge that work in computer support, it could be a problem of version of the BIOS (BIOS is 2005..) and the fact that my Win 7 installation kit is without Service Pack 1 (a colleague told me that he had this problem for the PC more than once and after trying to install SP1 It went smoothly and without errors)

  I just got a new "blank" DVD of Win 7 64 bit with SP1. What I'll try today is to Flash the bios with the latest version and install the OS on a HARD drive new, sealed. He could not be my system components, because they are compatible and they worked 1 day before with no problems! I have literally NO IDEA what could be the problem. Today, I'll try the installation of the new DVD and with the new version of the BIOS. If this does not work, I have no idea what I can do... It is a sucky situation.

  If you have any suggestions, please, don't keep it to yourself :-D

  Thank you!

  Hello

  See this thread for more information on using BlueScreenView, MyEventViewer and other methods of
  Troubleshoot the BlueScreens - top two responses.

  ==============================================

  References to Vista also apply to Windows 7.

  Drivers could be at fault, however the problems of disk or security/antivirus/antispyware products are
  just as likely to be the root cause that they can force a driver to corrupt or go out of bounds.
  The video driver or something affecting it would be questionable.

  At the end of this message, I'll post a bluescreen generic and in the next convenience store
  How do to update the drivers and BIOS but also to check memory message.

  -----------------------------------

  BCCode: 0a 0x0000000A

  Cause

  This bug check is issued if the memory paged (or invalid) is accessible when the IRQL is too high.

  The error that usually generates this bug check occurs after the installation of the faulty device driver or service system, BIOS.

  If you encounter a bug 0xA control during the upgrade to a later version of Windows, this error can be caused by a device driver, system service, an anti-virus or a backup tool that is not compatible with the new version.

  Solve the problem

  If a kernel debugger is available, get a stack trace.

  To resolve an error caused by the faulty device driver or service system, BIOS

  1. Restart your computer.
  2. Press F8 to character-based menu that displays the choice of operating system.
  3. In the WindowsAdvanced Options menu, select last known good Configuration . This option is most effective when a pilot or a service is added at a time.

  To resolve an error caused by an incompatible device driver, system service, virus scanner, or backup tool

  1. Check the system log in Event Viewer for error messages that may identify the device or driver that caused the error.
  2. Try disabling the cache in memory of the BIOS.
  3. Run the diagnostics of equipment provided by the manufacturer of the system, in particular the scanner memory. For more information about these procedures, see the manual of your computer.
  4. Make sure that the latest Service Pack is installed.
  5. If your system has cards (SCSI) small computer system interface, contact the card manufacturer for updated Windows drivers. Try to disable sync negotiation in the SCSI BIOS, check the wiring and the SCSI ID of each device and confirming the proper termination.
  6. For devices (IDE) peripheral electronic integrated, set the built-in as only primary IDE port. Also, check each IDE device to the right setting master/slave/stand alone. Try to remove all IDE devices except for the hard drives.

  If the message appears during installation of Windows, make sure that the computer and installed devices are listed in the list of the products tested Microsoft Windows market.

  Comments

  Before upgrading to a new version of Windows, remove all third-party device drivers and system services and disable any antivirus. Contact software manufacturers for updates of these third-party tools.

  -------------------------------------------------------------------------

  Here are a few ways to possibly fix the blue screen issue. If you could give the blue screen
  info that would help. Such as ITC and 4 others entered at the bottom left. And all others
  error information such as codes of STOP and info like IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL or PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA and similar messages.

  As examples:

  BCCode: 116
  BCP1: 87BC9510
  BCP2: 8C013D80
  BCP3: 00000000
  BCP4: 00000002

  or in this format:

  Stop: 0 x 00000000 (oxoooooooo oxoooooooo oxoooooooo oxooooooooo)
  Tcpip.sys - address blocking 0 x 0 00000000 000000000 DateStamp 0 x 000000000

• Problem of sound with Skype only - HP Pavilion laptop Windows 7 x 64

  I have problems with the sound with Skype only - all other software that requires a sound work fine.  I don't hear my correspondent.  My Skype settings seem to agree and I get no error message.

  I run 7 x 64 window.  I have a laptop HP Pavilion G7.

  Any help?

  Hello

  Sorry, you have problems. For Windows 7, try this:
  
  Sign in to Skype. Click Tools at the top of the window, and then select Options in the menu drop-down. Click Audio settings in the left pane. Under the speakers, you can:

  • Use the Volume slider to adjust the volume.
  • Click on the arrow down in the drop-down menu to select the appropriate stakeholders.
  • Test the speakers by clicking on the green arrow next to the drop-down list of speakers.
  • Click on the link to make a free test call to make a test call.

  It may be a good idea to plug a headset as a test to see if it works. You don't need a headset with a microphone; Just use any headset allows you to listen to your music on your iPod. The nice thing about using a stereo headset is that you can always talk through the microphone on your computer, but only you will hear responses from your correspondents, and is as much your comments.

  Skype has a document of support practice that may help you: I can't hear my friend... (Windows desktop) .

  And now, the delicate question: it is possible that your friend accidentally cut his microphone? Or what is happening with all of your calls?

  Hi bholmes,.

  Have you looked at the article Knowledge Base, what to do if Firefox will play all of the sounds? There are many good advice on troubleshooting in there. You might have its just accidentally disabled for Firefox.

  There is also a chance it's a plugin problem. If the first article does not help, take a look at common audio problems and graphics issues.

• Satellite U920T - sound with headphones quiet and distorted

  Hello

  I have the following problem with my U920T. The sound with built-in speakers is perfect, but if I use headphones, the sound is very quiet almost unhearable.
  I tested several helmets und different settings of the software. I also tried to install all Windowsupdates and driver updates the BIOS including Toshiba homepage n realtek drivers.
  Now, I have reinstalled Windows but the problem persists.
  I still think is a driver issue, but have no idea what to do now.

  I hope for quick help

  cordially 7even

  That s really strange, but I think that there is problem with some incorrect settings.
  I don't know how do you test your helmet but make some tests with browser player.
  Open Internet Explorer, open the test page. Start, for example, my favorite In the Mix radio click with the left button of the mouse on the "speaker" icon and open the option when running music mixer.
  Your IE it will appear there. You can move the volume level for speakers but for IE too.
  Two of them on the 50% and check if the problem persists.

  I use headphones often enough but I've never noticed this problem.
  Please test and send feedback.

• The drivers are all workers, but still no sound with windows 7

  I have a frustrating noise problem. My sound worked completely fine until yesterday. When I start my computer, I realized that no sound came out. I went through many forums to find the solution and I checked all the simple stuff like making sure my devices are activated, an active audio service, reinstalled / updated audio drivers etc... I even went into the BIOS and loaded by default and still no sound. I've gotten to the point where I don't know what I can do. Help please!

  Hi all

  I'm sorry that you are running in this issue of no sound. You get any sound with headphones?

  Also, I would suggest trying a hard reset as the next faster and less invasive stage. This can sometimes fix strange problems because it drains all the electricity unit. Here are the steps for a Hard Reset.

  I hope this helps! Let me know the results, if you have a chance

• Satellite P100-> no sound with Vista

  Hello
  You can download a lot of drivers Vista for TOSHIBA Canada support i.e. page
  http://209.167.114.38/support/download/listdrivers/drivers.asp?product=notebook&model=satellite%20P10 0 & partnum = PSPA3C-SD402F

  After installing display driver Vista is stable and fast even in Word of Warcraft.

  There is always a small problem. Canadian HD Audio drivers do not work. Original XP driver allows sound but DVD on WMP11 playback, or play WoW does choke system. Uninstalling the drivers for HD Audio done system and DVD run smoother, but there is no sound. 'Funny', it's that play the same DVD with sound with WMC does no problem.

  Someone knows what to do to properly install HD Audio drivers? To have sound and not smothering system?

  Some of the portable Satellite P100 supports his Intel chip Conexant CX20551-22.
  I recommend to visit the Intel Web site and install the latest chipset and drivers!
  Maybe it helps!

  1. right click the icon of speaker near right lower clock - peripheral of reading

  Highlight speakers - properties (right same low page) - tab improvements - check Disable all sound effects
  Apply - OK

  2. check the configuration - Device Manager - sound, video and game controller

  Note name and complete model of the audio device - full decription - now double click it.
  Driver tab - notice the driver version. Then click on set to update driver (maybe nothing like MS is far
  behind the pilots of certification). Then right CLICK on the device - UNINSTALL - REBOOT - it will refresh
  the driver stack.

  Now go to system Maker and look for the updated drivers (or get the same if no new) it will be
  your rescue. Download - SAVE - go to where you put it-RIGHT click in it - RUN AS ADMIN

  Then do the same for the manufacturer of the device (like Realtek or who made the device).

  NOTE: Often restore audio drivers to check the version after installing and restarting is
  see if the version you have installed is there, otherwise repeat the installation - restart until it is. This may take
  several tests according to the recommitments how much he makes.
  
  Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.
